The general secretary of the Chittagong University Journalist Association (CUJA) lodged a general diary (GD) against a Chhatra League leader in Chittagong yesterday after receiving a death threat.
Tasnim Hasan, Chittagong University correspondent for the daily Prothom Alo, filed the GD with Hathazari police station yesterday evening.
He said he had received a death threat from Ashrafuzzaman Asha, former deputy secretary of cultural affairs of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) CU unit, on August 21.
Asha, also a Master’s student of the botany department at CU, threatened him because he had written a report about an attack on cops by BCL men on August 20.
Hathazari police station Officer-in-Charge Ismail Hossain said the newsman had filed the GD seeking personal safety.
Police were looking into the matter, he said.
